Q-Stream Courses

Qstream uses daily e-mailed questions as a technique for teaching and learning. There is evidence to suggest that this technique improves long-term retention. The Department of Pediatrics, with the generous support of the Upstate Foundation, has purchased access to this online resource and has created courses for use in teaching students, residents, faculty and staff.

Courses consist entirely of questions and answers. They are sent to you in small amounts (typically 1 or 2 a day) on a regular schedule via email, the Web or RSS. They can be accessed from a desktop browser or a mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad.

Questions repeat based on your answers. The sequence of questions will adapt based on your answers. To improve retention, questions typically repeat several times. Get a question wrong and it repeats sooner. Get it right one or more times in a row and it is retired from the course. Retire all questions to complete the course.

A 5 question course, Child Abuse Recognition, is now available on upstategolisanopeds.qstream.com To sign up, please register first (free) for the Qstream site and then sign in to our Golisano site.

If you are interested in creating a new Q-Stream course, please Contact Dr. Ann Botash for more information.

"Life is more fun if you play games."
—Roald Dahl

Pediatric Advocacy

Our residents and faculty advocate for the needs of children through various efforts. If you are interested in participating in these or other child advocacy projects, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Nelsen.

This reference map resource for locations and information regarding community resources for children was created as part of a summer research project with the mentorship of Dr. Nelsen.

"No child should ever be too sad to play."
